40 YEARS AGO: It was announced that the Modesto City Council, Mayor Lee H. Davies and the Modesto Farm City Committee were considering opening a farmers market. The consideration came about after Davies received a letter from a local resident suggesting the idea. Farmers would be allowed to charge 10 percent above the daily wholesale market price, something the city of San Francisco had been doing since 1943.
